This is a version of Google Maps which has been signed by Google. Signed apps contain a digital signature and a checksum. If the app is modified after it was signed it will no longer work, which helps to protect the user from malicious hacks.

More importantly to most users, if an app is unsigned many phones will constantly prompt the user to grant the app permision to connect to the internet. This makes map apps, which have to download new map tiles every time you pan or zoom, almost unusable.

This app doesn’t work on Boost Mobile or Sprint phones which do not support the industry standard signatures which Google uses. It does work on many Samsung and Nokia phones from T-Mobile USA, AT&T and Tracfone.

I downloaded JAD file for 9644 app directly to my LG 306g. I was able to launch it immediately after installation. After I exited the app, I wasn’t able to find it anywhere on my phone. I tried to re-install it, and got message that app is already installed. Despite warning I re-installed. Again, I was able to start immediately after launch, but not after exiting. My minutes get deducted if app is running. I just want to uninstall it. How do I do it?

I think you mean 6944 (Google Maps) as there’s no 9644. To find it on the phone tap the menu icon (looks like four squares in the lower right corner) on the home screen, then tap Games and Apps and scroll down to Google Maps. To delete it; highlight Google maps, tap the menu button and tap delete.

If you use Google Maps on WiFi it won’t use minutes.

Anything special about the maps app for the lg305c that anyone knows about? It is sister to the 306g. I am desperate for some kind of nav app that will run on this phone. Trac rather deceptively advertised the 305c as having “GPS capabilities.” Then tech support says that means the locater works on GPS. My devotion to TF has diminished considerably!

Feature phones generally don’t expose GPS location information to 3rd party apps. The GPS is chip is only there meet 911 requirements.

Thanks! Are there other apps downloaded like this?

David said: 2014.03.31 15:31

Downloaded directly to my LG840 per your instructions. Not a glitch. Thank you very much for your help. This site is an outstanding resource especially for older (pushing 71) people who are electronically challenged.

Thanks so much. Now off to find an app that will work with audio books from the libaray.

Hi, thanks for the app, i have been using this app on my j2me, but it was deleted. i re-installed it, but when i open it it tells me “serious error ,exit and restart” over and over again. Plz help

No idea. The app hasn’t changed so it it worked before and your phone and settings haven’t changed it should still work. You could try deleting and re-installing it.

I downloaded Google Maps and it runs fine I keep getting “Untrusted Midlet you are accessing the network.
Data charges may apply. Continue?” when I bring up and when I navagate. ny suggestions on how to correct that?

This is a signed Midlet so you shouldn’t be getting an “untrusted Midlet” message. The signature is in the .jad file so you must install using the JAD link. If you install using the JAR link the app may work but it won’t be signed.

Thanks a lot Dennis, worksfine now, Jim

Just downloaded google maps onto my LG840G, and its works perfectly. thanks a bunch. shame there is no Pandora app.

David said: 2014.02.15 11:43

Very encouraging. Just ordered an LG840G myself, and am not savvy at all about these matters. Do I need a signed version of Opera? If so, do you recommend a specific version? Also, does google maps operate like a GPS (that question alone will tell you how little I know). Thanks for any input.

You should use the jad file which is a small text file that contains the digital signature plus meta data that some phones require, like the jar file size and a list of which APIs the app uses. The phone uses the information in the jad to verify and download the jar.

If you get an error with the jad you can try clicking the jar link which sometimes works when the jad doesn’t. If you’ install using the jar the app will not be signed.

The zip is an archive containing the jad and jar intended for download to a PC. If your phone supports installing apps with a cable or Bluetooth you can download the zip, extract the files and push them to the phone. Phones can’t install it directly.

This is a great site. It took very little time to download the app to my LG840g phone.

A whole lot of work to get nothing useful.

thanks i got it to work , now I would like a bible I could read on my Lg800g, maybe it would stop me from smashing up my phone with the largest hammer I could lay my Hands on, so it should be signed SIGNED, everywhere a sign as the 60s song goes

None of them are signed but the “GoBible” apps don’t connect to the web or read or write to the filesystem so the phone shouldn’t annoy you with prompts to allow anything.

peterwain said: 2013.07.09 09:13

I tried download to a pc then I put it i n my LG800g it came up with the comment “Invalid descriptor” I tried with the in built crappy browser To go to boost apps but the phone froze and i saw I was going to be charged lots of minutes for nothing so I had to take the battery out to unfreeze it! Why is it so hard I have spent waaaay too much minutes on what should be simple!I am verry computer savvy. Please Help before I throw the phone at someone?
